pg3Browser - Nano WebKit Browser for the Linux Desktop

A quick and dirty Web Browser with Gtk3, Gtk3::WebKit and WebKit.
Why ?My Graphic Program GraphicMaiJi is using the UZBL Browser for Previews.
The next generation of Debian throws it from the repository.
I found no lightweight Browser like UZBL, so i wrote my own.
pg3Browser is a minimalistic browser without gimmicks, especially for Web Developers and Previews.
pg3Browser stands for Perl Gtk3 Browser.

Installation

The Easy Debian Package Way for all Debian based distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc.

Download the install_pg3browser.zip file.
Unpack the .zip file.
Open a console and change to the install_pg3browser directory. → cd install_pg3browser ↵
Read the instructions of the 00_Readme_First.txt file and follow them. → less 00* ↵

On Debian/Linux become root with su
and type:

bash ./01install_deb_pg3browser.bash

or on Ubuntu/Mint etc.
type:

sudo bash ./01install_deb_pg3browser.bash

Important: Type 'bash' and not 'sh', because 'sh' is 'dash' on Debian. Dash is a subset of Bash.

That's it.
Now, start the Browser with 'pg3browser' or under the menu section Network/Internet.
Or start the Browser with your favorite page e.g 'pg3browser myHomePage.com',
or with a specific geometry and page e.g. 'pg3browser -g 1400x800 myHomePage.com',
or with a local file e.g. 'pg3browser -g 1024x768 /data/develop/test.html'.

The Hard Way for all other linux/unix distributions.

Install the following Distribution Packages in this Order if it is not there.
Install libautodie-perl
Install libgtk3-perl ... this is the Perl Gtk3 Wrapper
Install libglib-object-introspection-perl
Install libtest-needsdisplay-perl
Install gir1.2-webkit-3.0
Install libgtk3-webkit-perl ... if it is present

The Harder Way if one or more of the Perl Packages not present in your distribution.
